i just got the 231hp version..its not bad to drive specially when ur on the trafic and u want to do a few overpassis..i just want to put more torque to the engine.. eny idea wat's best ?? please respond..
There's hardly any difference between the two versions. The car wasn't designed for outright power and 0-60 times. If you want a fast car in a straight line get a shopping trolley. The RX8 is a true drivers car!! It will outhandle cars with considerably more power and some at more than double the price.
i cant tell you how much of a fail the 192hp rx8 version is, i mean wtf were they thinking lol, the 231 hp is underpowered, i cant even begin to say how underpowered the 192 hp one is lol
why would any person buy a sport can in automatic? You pay more for autoatics and they have less hp. In th end when want to sell them, no one wants to buy them. Stupid people in the world.
Common misconception. Same horsepower but you lose hp thru the automatic gearbox. Plus auto-trans weigh more. Air intakes have nothing to do with how slow the car is. A car with a manual will always move a bit faster due to the driver being able to shift on his own and get the max RPM before shiffting.
no actually, you dont. If that were case, then all automatics would be that way. Factory's dont rate hp at the wheels, they rate it at the flywheel, meaning before the transmission. The automatic is a detuned version of the the same 1.3L 2 rotor engine putting out 192bhp and the manual puts out 231bhp. Its slower b/c it doesnt put out as much power
Just bought an RX8 230 and some clown in a rover bumped into me on my way home from the showroom because he wanted to race. I didnt buy it to push the thing into a wall. I want to modify the thing and take it to a course. I drive on a road and race on a curcuit. That way no one dies except me, couldnt emagine killing some kid because i was acting like a moron to impress bigger morons. Reminds me of monkies when chavs race each other on public roads, and they say we are devolving.
got a rx8 05, some how, i got the same problem, im at light waiting to turn green, and the guy bisade me, look at me, "like lest race" and that happen all the time!!! i bought the car cuz it looks nice no cuz i want to race, but yeah i have to admit it sometimes i cant resist, and race!!! and i wont most of the times!!
It is hard sometimes to resist. I was at the lights and this guy rolled down his window and started glaring at me. I kind of lost my rag a bit and decided to give it a go. I blasted this guy and he was driving the new Audi TT. I am so glad I bought this car. It only drinks petrol/oil if you push it all the time. It is actually really nice to drive slow and fast.
its supposed to use oil. it uses it to lubricate the points on the rotors. And if you dont rev them to the limiter regularly, it doesnt rotate at a high enough speed to clean out all of the carbon deposits in the engine since it doesnt have as many rotating parts as a regular piston engine does. So it may be nice to drive slow, but just to save ur engine, u may wanna rev it a lil more, and dont worry about the oil burning thing, its supposed to happen.
Very little difference in real world performance, Only for some reason I get quoted more than twice the amount for insurance between the two when they sit in groups 15 and 16 respectively. That is the deciding factor for me!
The difference in both versions is very small, top speed of the hi power one is only 5 mph faster and 0-60mph time the difference is only half a second. It's all down to how good the guy who is driving the 192 is at changing gear. I own a high power and when I have been to events those 192's have no trouble keeping up.
yeah maybe, but why buy something that gives u less power and less control over what little power u already have?? if ur gonna buy one, get the manual. At least you can better control ur power and accelerate a little harder out of corners alot better.
@LauriBallak I like to see newbie like LauriBallak speaking about cars and sexe, things he will probably don't know about before many, many, many years, decades or even centuries ^_^
the civic was in the 231 bhp rx8 slipstream , otherwise rx8 would have slowly walked away , i know i have an rx8 and civic type r's are ever so slightly slower.

For sure, Zolega89, you don't know what you are speaking about.
This car brings incredible feeling and pleasure when you drive it
No owner is complaining about engine lifetime for the moment
The sensation + performance/price makes this car worth the money more than any other car

this car sucks the life out of people
the engine's life span is very short
not worth the money............unless you're a hard core racer

wrong
The rx-8 auto has the same BHP but only has 4 ports.. so it takes in less air thats why it is slower.

Maybe thats how it is in america but in europe its diffrent.
you can get both the 192 and 231 in Auto or Manual. Its the Intake ports that differ
